  • The Truth About AI That Nobody Is Telling You with Jamie Bartlett

    The Truth About AI That Nobody Is Telling You with Jamie Bartlett
    Jul 7 2026

    He interviewed Sam Altman in 2017, before most of the world had heard of him, spent hundreds of hours inside some of the darkest corners of the internet, from extremist forums to the darknet, and has become one of the most trusted voices on AI and society in the UK. Today, Jamie Bartlett is a five time author, tech journalist, and the person Anna wanted in her corner for this conversation.

    In this episode of Money and Us, Anna sits down with Jamie for a candid and compelling conversation about AI, money, and what it really means for all of us right now.

    Jamie talks openly about the dangers most people aren't aware of. The sycophancy built into every AI model that makes it almost impossible not to trust. The hallucinations that sound so convincing even experts get fooled. What AI really means for jobs, money, and the future of work, and how to use it wisely without being misled by it.

    This isn't a conversation for tech experts. It's for real people trying to navigate a world that's changing faster than most of us anticipated. Whether you're worried about AI, curious about it, or simply trying to figure out what it means for your life and your finances, this one is for you.

    Key Moments:
    • Why 3.5 billion prompts are entered into ChatGPT alone every single day
    • The golden rule of technology and why criminals and outsiders are always the earliest adopters
    • Why Jamie argued with Sam Altman in 2017 and what that conversation revealed
    • The story of Alan from Toronto and how AI hallucination combined with sycophancy led one man into a genuine delusion
    • Why every AI model is built to flatter you and why that's more dangerous than most people realise
    • What AI really means for jobs, money, and the future of work
    • How to use AI wisely without being misled
    • What wealth means to Jamie, and why his answer is about time, not money

  • Anna Brading: The Money Conversations We Should Have Been Having All Along

    Anna Brading: The Money Conversations We Should Have Been Having All Along
    Jun 16 2026

    Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right with money and still feel like you’re falling behind? You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not the problem.

    In this very first episode, Anna Brading shares the story behind Money and Us and why she felt compelled to create it. The truth is, most of us are navigating real life challenges that nobody else can see. The messy, complicated, invisible stuff. So much shame and embarrassment still surrounds the conversation around money, which means most of us suffer in silence rather than seeking the help and information we need.

    Money and Us exists for real people, living real lives, facing real challenges. Honest conversations that meet you exactly where you are, not where you think you should be.

    The reality is that money touches every single area of our lives, which is why throughout this series Anna will be covering a wide range of topics that don’t get spoken about nearly enough. From grief and addiction to parenthood and everything in between. These are the conversations that are long overdue.

    This is where it all begins. Welcome.
